My car has stock struts because the guy I got it from didn't change the struts when he put springs on it and I don't know what to compare it too but it is not bouncy at all as a matter of fact its not that much different than stock except over hard bumps.

For Eibach spring prices just do a search on Google or something and find the cheapest prices. I didn't buy mine so I cant tell you of a good place...sorry.

I've got The Eibach springs on my 93'. It does drop the car a noticable amount, but its not in the weeds. I put tokico struts on. I did this last year, and the tok's have softened quite a bit. When I was doing the research on the Eibachs, I saw many posts about ANY lowering springs trashing stock struts in a couple of months time.

Final note: You should wait until you save enough money and get springs and struts together because you wont have to worry about killing your stock struts.
I have bridestones and I had 2 alignments but I notice some uneven wear, I believe is negative camber so I'm getting a camber kit.
Good luck!

a note about eibachs: only the rear are progressive springrate. The front's are linear. Many springs are set up the same way. I've only seen 1 maxima spring that has progressive fronts.
Eibach says they're set up this way so you can load up your trunk or back seat and still have a comfortable ride. It doesn't do much for performance.
